All of our London made watches are printed by Paul. Every colour used in the designs is mixed by his hand and laid down in turn.

The vertigo watch is especially interesting because Paul chose to use a unique colour combination for each of the 100 pieces. Although this decision complicated the process, the results were beautiful.

Initial ideas

Paul loves to travel and his outdoor adventures are a major source of inspiration for his work.

At the beginning of the design process, Paul talks about using different elements of the landscape to display the time, in a similar way to his first watch design: Wanderlust.

Paul talks about the moments in time when he has been lost in the wilderness, climbing mountains surrounded by nature.

Then he focuses on the moments in time when he has been lost in the wilderness, climbing mountains surrounded by nature.

He started to incorporate all the textures and patterns of wild landscapes into the design using found materials in his printing process.

Paul talks about the feeling of Vertigo when he's exploring mountaintops and explains that he wants to translate this feeling into his design.

He does this by creating miniature abstract worlds turn and evolve as time passes.

Paul decided that because nothing in nature repeats itself, each watch should be unique too.

So he printed each of the 100 watches with different colour combinations.

We're really pleased with the finished result of the Vertigo watch; it's a real statement piece.
